Girl Talk

I hope this hits the right note, it just seems to me that both ladies need someone to talk to.

I dont own or profit from NCIS Los Angeles. I just like to have them do what I want.

"So when did you know you felt something for him? Was it a sudden thing or something that grew gradually?" Nell reached for a cheese stick as she questioned Kensi.

Sliding over the marinara sauce to her friend the brunette gave some thought before speaking.

"You know when I first met Deeks I didn't know who he was, we actually thought he was one of the bad guys because he was undercover. Of course I noticed his looks right away I mean how could you not?"

"He is cute is he? Deeks is really sweet to he was the first one to make me feel welcome when I joined the team." Nell commented as she dunked her cheese stick in the sauce before munching. "He's really funny too though I don't think the guys always appreciate that."

"Yes he is gorgeous with all that shaggy blonde hair and blue eyes, and his body is ripped. You tend not to notice his build around someone like Sam but let his clothes come off and all you can see is tanned, toned muscles."

Kensi paused for a moment waving her beer in the air as she spoke as Nell's eyes widened. "Not that I've ever seen him naked just when he's been surfing and he's in his board shorts all wet and shiny."

Licking her lips she seemed to lose her train of thought for a moment before speaking again.

"So I guess it was a gradual thing on the feelings it just seemed to grow a little each day until the time he got shot. That kind of brought it home to me how much I cared about him. Not that I've ever let him know, you're the only one I've ever talked to about my feelings for Marty."

"Ooh I've never heard you call him Marty before."

"Yea I call him Marty in my mind but never out loud" Kensi took another drink of beer and looked over at Nell. "I have two compartments in my mind; one for Deeks the partner that's kind of silly and always has my back and the second for Marty the smoking guy I have a thing for."

"Isn't that confusing for you, aren't you afraid you'll slip up some day and use the wrong name at the wrong time?" The redhead poured them both a shot of tequila before speaking again. "So you've never let him know how you feel."

"No it actually helps me keep it straight to think of him in two separate ways it keeps me from saying something really stupid most of the time." Kensi grabbed the shot glass off the table and threw it back.

"You mean something like "Oh I am so your type"?" Nell giggled at her friend's expression. "That little comment was heard by everyone in the op center, plus he asked Eric to make him a ring tone of it."

Kensi's eyes shot fire as she sat up abruptly "He's so dead if I ever hear that coming from his pocket. Callen and Sam gave me enough crap about it the first time they heard it."

Nell looked over at her friend and noticed how Kensi's face changed when she talked about Marty. Her eyes softened a little and a smile crept over the brunettes face.

"You do know he probably feels the same way about you right? I mean I've seen how he looks at you when you aren't looking, sometimes it's almost painful to see the emotion on his face."

"I don't think so Deeks is always making suggestive remarks about the two of us but you can tell he's just joking around."

"Come on Kensi how could you doubt it, look at he way acted when you showed up with all those tattoos. I thought he was going to swallow his tongue when you walked into that club." Nell gave her friend a little shove "Get us some more beer."

"Tell you what I'll pull up the whole club scene thing for you to watch." She reached for her tablet "Once you see the look on his face when you walk in plus how he reacted when you left the bar with that guy you'll be convinced."

Kensi watched her friend boot up her computer and start to look for the video she wanted. While admiring Nell's computer skills she also noticed something strange going on in the background on the screen.

"So Nell why do you have remote access to NCIS on your personal tablet, isn't that a violation of National Security or something?"

"Oh Eric set it up for me so if I needed to check something from home I could." She bit her lip "Don't tell Hetty I wouldn't want to get him in trouble."

"Right like there's anything she doesn't know" Kensi glanced around as if looking for the ninja warrior "She probably knows what we're doing right now. I hope she can't hear this conversation because I really don't want to think about me or Deeks having to transfer off the team for having a thing."

Nell giggled at the thought "I thing she had a Don't ask Don't Tell mindset about that kind of thing unless it screws up the team. Sometimes I wonder how she gets her information but then I think I really don't want to know. Ok here is the video of the club thing, watch Deeks face and you'll see what I was talking about."

Grabbing the tablet Kensi focused on the screen staring at the close ups of the blonde detective and his reactions to her. She could see how his eyes widened when she first walked in, how he followed her every move, the laughter that appeared after her stupid comment. Next she saw the worry appear on his face when she walked to the exit with the suspect before he took off after them.

She sat there for a few minutes after the video was over replaying his facial expressions with a dreamy look on her face. Turning to look at Nell with a happy look on her face she finally spoke.

"It does look like he cares doesn't it but what now? How can we be partners and be together as well. I can't lose Deeks as my partner no matter how much I want Marty as my man."

"Come on Kensi there's got to be a way to work it out but someone has to make the first move. Marty's never going to do it, he's too afraid of you to risk making a move. You're gonna have to be the one to step up."

"Fine I'll just do that in fact maybe I'll do it tonight. The guys were going out for drinks we should go crash their guy's nite out." Kensi shut down the video and prepared to give he tablet back to Nell "You up for moving this party down the road?"

As she went to hand the tablet back to the red head her finger brushed over the photo button. Kensi was treated to an assortment of photos of a certain senior agent, there seemed to be dozens of different photos. Looking up she gave Nell a wicked grin.

"Perhaps on the drive over you can explain why you have all this on your tablet" she held up the tablet with the photos of G Callen showing.

Nell dropped her face in her hands "Crap you weren't supposed to see those."
